RE- IMAGINEFrom Theory to Application:

Using Feminist Theory to Inform Curriculum Design

Second Generation forms of Gender BiasThe powerful yet often invisible barriers to women’s advancement that arise from cultural beliefs about gender, as well as workplace structures, practices, and patterns of interaction that inadvertently favor men

Pedagogical theories have failed to keep pace with practice.“An earlier generation’s hope that filling the pipeline would eventually produce parity up through the ranks has clearly not materialized. At the same time, organizations’ widespread adoption of policies prohibiting sex discrimination, while opening many doors to women, have also failed to close the gender gap at more senior levels, suggesting that impediments to women’s advancement are more complex and elusive than deliberate forms of sex discrimination (Ely, Ibarra and Kolb, 2011).
